Description

Danielle Pousette is a portrait photographer in Kentucky and previously an officer in the US Army Reserve. Upon reflection she began to contemplate her time in the military particularly as a cadet during college ROTC. The years spent training to acquire military skills and earn a degree are vivid memories. Danielle felt it was important to keep telling the story of women who are pursuing military careers and showing what training among their peers looks like from the inside out. The work would reflect the strength and determination of female cadets and the various leadership roles they fulfill. The Kentucky Foundation for Women has helped to provide grant money in order to facilitate these photographs. To see more of Danielle's work, visit her website or follow her on Facebook.
